Hi everyone my XPS X1710 no longer boots up. It powers right up, all the lights glow etc but it never gets to the dell screen. I have removed the battery to discharge static, attempted the fn and power button ( no effect) and tried pushing f12 which eventually makes the laptop beep when you push the button the the display stays dark ( well backlit but dark).
I do not believe I have the windows vista disk for it, or at least remember where it's buried.
Any tips on getting it back to life? I can hook it up to a desktop if that helps to remotely do anything to it.
